We were lucky to be introduced to each other through two of our closest friends who thought we would "really get along" (note these friends also happen to be marrying each other), but unlucky in that it happened three months before Claire moved 1,000 miles away for law school. Despite that little complication, we knew it was worth taking a chance on this thing. We managed to conquer distance alongside the chaos of our journeys through medical and law school — and even had a lot of fun doing it! After a few years of taking planes, trains, and automobiles to see each other, we're finally building our life together in the same city and couldn't be happier to celebrate our marriage with all of our loved ones.
